Massive amounts of information about Benin
are available on the Internet. This series of links is limited in
number. Those searching for further information should be aware that general
searches for Benin
will result not only in information about Nigeria's Benin
Kingdom, but about the West African nation the Republic
of Benin, a quite-different entity. If the source is written in French or mentions Dahomeyor the Fon, it is likely referring to the country that named itself after
the kingdom, so exercise caution in researching. The links below all refer
to the kingdom or related material.

A colonialist’s book—R.E. Dennett’s Atthe Back of the Black
Man’s Mind [1906]—reprinted in its entirety. While full of
many misinterpretations and dated ideas, it includes nuggets of useful
information on Benin and on the Kongo people as well.

Numerous articulate and well-argued
articles regarding repatriation from Ghanaian scholar Dr. Kwame Opoku. For
